Well let's hope you keep away more often.

It was always going to go the way it did when we made the changes we did.
Fryers first game at this level since Newcastle in the same competition how long ago?
Cabaye and Mutch short of match sharpness , Sako not played since last season...
These sort of things not only effect the players in question by those around them who are thinking and moving at a sharper pace.
More worries about Dann.
4 fit defenders to go into a huge game Saturday and it looks like all will start.
On a side note I have defended Wickham on here since he turned up but he was a huge disappointment for me today.
He looked uninterested and would go as far to say he looked as if he was sulking.

If it's the case that some think it's acceptable to put in a dire performance because we've made changes why should fans continue to buy tickets and travel to these games? someone said mutch and cabaye was never going to work together. Well why bother playing them together then?! Ridiculous!

We're the red and blue army!!

It was quite pleasant (if you don't mind Rudi!!) between Sunday teatime and 19.45 last night Steph

If it is true that the EFL Cup brings 100k of prize money (and no European spot) if you win it, we should send the youth team with the youth team manager. Let him pick 3 or 4 fringe players who need minutes for a puncher's chance.

We have chosen to thin down the squad and focus on quality. I see the merit in that. But no needless risk should be taken with the 1st team.

To put key players at risk in a match like this is insane. f*** the romance of the cup.

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

Shouldn't bother you in Perth, the chances of you going to a game are remote.
Everyone with a brain knows weaken teams are fielded in this silly cup, which changes its name every year.
If people choose to travel and pay for a tickets its up to them. Usually the stands are empty in early rounds.
